I can't say for sure Bea as mine seem to have permanately crossed their legs!
Normal & Rosa are a dominate gene so there is a high probability you'll probably have Rosa'a split to Cream. There are (I think) specialist Bourke breeders on smileysbirds (in link section), join up there and I'm sure they'll give you some good info.

Whoever said Bourke's Parrots are timid and without aggression obviously hasn't bred enough! This is the worst case of Bourke aggression I have had. I have removed the guilty male which now leaves 2 females & 1 male in the aviary (pity Whistler doesn't have any interest in girls atm). I had been missing a boy for 2 days but thought he was in with the hen. I couldn't stand not knowing any longer so went in search of him. I found him: Please pray he makes it. He is a strong robust bird (normally). I put some disinfectant on his wounds (actually I held him and mum did it) and put some Spark in his water and held it to him while he had a big drink.

Red Rumps are such a beautiful bird. I've got 5 myself but unfortunately none are tame.

They are similar to Lovebirds then! I introduced a new pair to another & he kept trying to bite their toes off!!

I'd be interested to know what she says Dawn.
The Green Cheek in the background is Con, he loves the camera! Everytime the camera comes out he is always 'available'. I get his new mate tomorrow.

Honestly Dawn, I don't know - Buuzbee has Parrotlets though & I think someone on her board Conure Crazy has a couple in with their budgies. If the aviary is big enough it should be fine. Probably PM Buuz first though and see what she says.

Do your Bourke's prefer a dark cage for breeding or a light one? I ask because the only success I had with breeding Bourke's was when they were in a smaller cage that was about 50% darker than the main aviary.

I love the RF Yellow Turqs. I used to have 4 & ended up selling them ridiculously cheap. Of course I regret it now. I am slowly rebuilding my Bourke collection at the moment.

I have been thinking of getting some scarlets, if they attack other neophema then I think not now! Very pretty though.

Yes Billie, there are 4 Rosa Bourkes & 2 Normal Bourkes, I'm not sure of their sex yet.

I got them from a private breeder. Some of them are 6 weeks & others are 4 months old. They are such gentle birds, don't know why I sold my first flock.
